Three muslims trying to join ISIS from Brooklyn have been arrested for planning to kill FBI agents and police officers in New York City, authorities say — and one of the men allegedly offered to assassinate President Obama and bomb Coney Island.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn identified Abdurasul Juraboev, 24, Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, and Abror Habibov, 30, as having planned to orchestrate a terror outrage in New York City and hijack a commercial plane for ISIS, according to court papers filed on Wednesday.

Juraboev, who is also known as Adbulloh Ibn Hasan, came to the attention of authorities after he posted threatening messages to an Uzbek-language website in August 2014, according to a criminal complaint filed in US District Court in Brooklyn.

'We too wanted to pledge our allegiance and commit ourselves while not present there,' Juraboev wrote while using the name Abdulloh ibn Hasan.

'I am in USA now but we don't have any arms,' he wrote.

'But is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here?

'What I'm saying is, to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves, will it do?'

During a meeting with law enforcement officials at his Brooklyn home, Juraboev said he would kill the president because 'of Allah,' and that he would also bomb Coney Island if asked to do so.

Juraboev also said he 'wanted to be a martyr' against the 'polytheists and infidels.'
